- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous because the charge sheet has already been submitted.
Summary
Petitioners Kulvinder Singh and two others filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging the continuation of proceedings against them. They contended that the charge sheet had already been submitted and therefore no further judicial intervention was necessary. The petitioners' counsel, Bhuvnesh Kumar Singh, Kiran Rani and Laloo Yadav, argued that the petition had become moot. The Court examined the status of the charge sheet and found that the procedural requirement sought by the petitioners was already satisfied. Consequently, the Court held that the petition was infructuous and dismissed it. The judgment was delivered on 12 May 2026 by Justices Siddhartha Varma and Jai Krishna Upadhyay.
